How To Change Your Appearance In Fallout 4

Customizing your character’s appearance doesn’t have to be limited to character creation. In Fallout 4, there are multiple ways to modify your character’s looks after you’ve started your journey through the Commonwealth. This guide will walk you through the available methods and show you exactly how to access these appearance-changing features.

Settlement-Based Appearance Changes

Using the Surgeon Table

The surgeon table is the primary tool for changing your appearance in Fallout 4. You can place this station in any settlement you control. The surgeon table allows you to modify your facial features completely, giving you full control over your character’s look.

In addition to the surgeon table, there’s also a hair cutting table available. This is a lesser version of the surgeon table that specifically lets you change your hairstyle only, without altering your facial features. Choose whichever option suits your needs.

Assigning a Settler

To use either the surgeon table or hair cutting table, you must have a settler assigned to man the station. Once you’ve placed the furniture in your settlement, assign a vendor to operate it. This settler will then manage the station and provide the appearance-changing service.

How to Change Your Appearance

Once you have a surgeon table or hair cutting table set up with a settler assigned, interact with the settler managing the station. Simply talk to them and select the option to sit in the chair.

This will bring up the character customization menu, the same interface you used during initial character creation. From here, you can mess with your facial proportions and modify any aspect of your appearance that the station allows.

Once you’ve finished customizing your character to your liking, press Escape to confirm your character changes and exit the customization menu. Your new appearance will be applied immediately.

Free vs. Paid Appearance Changes

The settlement-based method described above is completely free. You won’t need to pay any caps to change your appearance using a surgeon table or hair cutting table in your own settlement.

However, if you prefer to have this service available on demand without setting up your own station, there’s an alternative option. A vendor in Diamond City can provide appearance-changing services for a fee. This is a convenient option if you want quick access to character customization without the settlement management requirements.

Summary

Changing your appearance in Fallout 4 is straightforward once you know where to look. Whether you choose to set up a free surgeon table in your settlement or visit a paid vendor in Diamond City, you have full control over your character’s look throughout your playthrough. The surgeon table offers the most comprehensive customization options, while the hair cutting table provides a quick way to update just your hairstyle.
